Whetstone sharpening is a therapeutic process requiring patience and skill. The Work Sharp Whetstone is built to help users learn and practice the ancient art to master the skill. Work Sharp’s signature angle guides offer consistency with each stroke and the stone is secured in a water-controlled base keeping the workstation clean, allowing the user to focus on sharpening, not the mess.

Use 1000 grit to sharpen and restore and edge, then 6000 to refine for a razor sharp result.Removable sharpening guides can be positioned to offer 15 or 17 degree angles for all types of kitchen knives and low angle outdoor knives.
A variety of angle guides are available through Work Sharp directly. The sharpening base provides a stable platform and water control basin for less mess and faster clean up. Anti-skid feet ensure a safe and stable process. Expect consistency, a cleaner work space, and a superior sharpening solution on the Work Sharp Whetstone.

| Tips to Remember When Sharpening on a Whetstone: 1. Soak the stone in water until there are no more bubbles. 2. Create and maintain a slurry of stone particles and knife material in a small pool on top of the stone as you sharpen. Continuously add water to maintain the slurry. This mixture of abrasive particles helps remove material and sharpen the knife. 3. Sharpen all the way to the tip of the knife – maintain contact with the knife and abrasive along the full length of the blade. See the Whetstone in action: |
